Writing Past and Future
Dec. 30th, 2011 02:41 pmI don't really make New Year's Eve resolutions anymore. I just keep on writing. I set my goals and keep on keeping on. This year, I met or exceeded every single one of my goals. Goals are a good thing to have.
Short Story Submissions
Goal: 12+
Actual: 22
Results: 8 acceptances, 11 rejections, 3 unknown.
New Short Stories Written
Goal: 12+
Actual: 14
New Novels/Novellas Written
Goal: 1+
Actual: 2 (One novella—sold, One novel—in edits)
New RPG Assignments Completed
Goal: 6+
Actual: 8
Let's see what was published this year:
Columns: 2 – Dice & Deadlines, The Making of an Anthology
Short stories: 9 – 2 reprints, 7 originals
Books: 1 – Shanghai Vampocalypse hard copy
Anthologies edited: 5 – Beauty Has Her Way, Human Tales, Beast Within 2, Space Tramps, Human for a Day.
Already on tap for publication in 2012:
Four short stories
One novella
Three PDF RPG settings
One RPG book
Two articles
One new column
Next year my writing goals a little different. I am shifting from short form writing to long form writing. What I want to do next year is to finish up the two RPG contracts I have, edit the novel I've written, stay on top of the non-fiction column I am writing for Apex Publications, and to write two or three novels in a series. Plus, I want to edit at least two anthologies.
If I do all that, I will write between 250,000 and 300,000 words. We will see how far I get. I am a determined woman and you all know now I can get when I'm determined.
